Ling Shang knew what Ye Mujing wanted to say.

But he didn't want to hear it.

He looked at the letter on the desk intently, and didn't raise his head, "Zhou Tanhua's illness, if you delay for a moment, you will be more stubborn." If His Royal Highness Jing has anything else to say, there is no need to rush for a while, right? ”

Ye Mujing understood the meaning of Ling Shang's words.

He left with a gloomy expression, got into the carriage prepared for him by You Hai, and came to the Zhou Mansion.

The desolation of the Zhou Mansion shocked Ye Mujing as well.

He searched all over the front and back of the hall, but there was no trace of Zhou Yinchen.

I was about to leave, but my mind was pulled by something.

He hadn't visited his mother in a long time.

After Zhou Hao died, he did not worship once, but was only busy exonerating Ye Mushen and falling into the quagmire called Ling Shang.

Since you're here, let's go and see it; Ye Mujing thought so.

He came to the garden full of begonias and peonies, and stepped on the black and white pebbles in a seemingly disorderly but orderly manner, opening the secret door to the cellar.

The design of the cellar cost Zhou Hao a lot of money and energy.

Entering at this moment, Ye Mujing did not feel that the air was chaotic and dull, and the ingenuity of the people who built it back then can be seen.

However, in this cellar, it would be a little too warm to wear the fox fur that Ye Mushen gave him.

Ye Mujing adjusted his mind and entered the ancestral hall on the right.

After all, the inside of the cellar was not as bright as the outside, and Ye Mujing had not yet adapted to the light inside, and felt slightly dizzy.

Ye Mujing came to the sacrificial hall of his dead mother and was about to untie his fox fur, but he was startled by the scene in front of him.

Zhou Yinchen didn't expect that someone would disturb his plans.

After seeing the person clearly, Zhou Yinchen didn't feel half frightened.

Instead, his body trembled with morbid joy.

"Ah Jing, what are you doing?" Zhou Yinchen's eyes flashed with fire.

Ever since the night before, he had been in the back of his mind what this person looked like.

Ye Mujing was so shocked that he couldn't say a word.

On the long table, which was originally clean, there was a person lying at the moment.

It's not so much that he's human...... It's better to say a living zombie.

Dong Changyou's body was wrapped in a tight black cloth, his mouth was also sealed, and his forehead was covered with hot sweat.

His eyes were out of focus, but he could tell he was still conscious.

Because the moment he saw Ye Mujing, his stiff face that was pulled by the seal twisted painfully.

Ye Mujing instinctively wanted to escape from this person, but his legs were as heavy as lead.

"Ah Jing, it's great that you're here." Zhou Yinchen's voice was high-pitched because of excitement.

Ye Mujing stared at him vigilantly.

Zhou Yinchen's purpose couldn't be more obvious-

He asked Dong Changyou to die in the most unbearable and painful way in front of the portrait of the person he loved the most.

Ye Mujing just didn't quite understand how Zhou Yinchen did all this.

On the way he came—on the stairs and passages leading to the ancestral hall—there were no signs of struggle or dragging.

So, Dong Changyou entered this ancestral hall by himself, right?

Did Zhou Yinchen lure him here on the pretext of visiting the queen?

This seems to make sense.

However, Dong Changyou is not the kind of civil official who is weak, and how was he restrained by the terminally ill Zhou Yinchen?

Could it be that after he entered this sacrificial hall, Zhou Yinchen gave him some kind of drug?

……

Ye Mujing was somewhat confused.

"Ah Jing, look, I avenged you......" Zhou Yinchen's thin face was unusually ruddy.

He didn't know when he had arrived in front of Ye Mujing, only half a step away from Ye Mujing.

Although he was not a rule-abiding person in the past, he also cared about the laws of the Heavenly Principle and the King, and never committed anything that hurt people's lives.

However, there are some things, once you take the first step, you can't go back.
